‘WEEN DREAM is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit that gives free Halloween costumes to children in need. Donate a costume and give the gift of Halloween!

Donate costumes from anywhere in America!

If you'd like to donate a costume and there isn't a 'WEEN DREAM Project near you, send your costume to our New Orleans headquarters and we will match it to a child in need somewhere in America this Halloween!

Costume Donation Instructions

1. Wash or dry clean (depending on the costume's care instructions) each costume before donating it to 'WEEN DREAM. We are unable to use costumes that have not been cleaned.

2. Only donate costumes that are in good condition. As a rule of thumb, if you would purchase the costume in its current condition from a consignment shop for your own child, then it's probably in "good" condition.

3. Put each costume in its own large, sealed Ziploc bag so that it will not get wet or dirty while it is waiting to be processed by our volunteers.

4. Write the following information on a piece of paper and slide it in the bag with the costume:

Type of Costume (such as character name or general description, like "Princess");

Gender (Boy, Girl, or Unisex);

Size (Toddler/Child/Teen S, M, L, XL, or numeric size); and

Age (approximate) the costume is appropriate for.

5. Getting the costume to 'WEEN DREAM:

Costumes may be mailed from anywhere in America to our New Orleans headquarters at:

'WEEN DREAM 3001 River Rd. Jefferson, LA 70121

6. New costumes (never worn and still in their original packaging) may be donated to 'WEEN DREAM in the same manner as described above for gently used costumes.
